Image taken in Norwood, South Astralia (just outside Adelaide), 2002. This is by far one of the most amazing plants I have ever seen. Please note the ant (not sure on the particular species, but it's a fairly common-looking small black ant) for size comparison.

Buds! We'll have blooms soon. (July 14th, 2002, East TN).

As predicted, we have blooms! And the fragrance is absolutely out of this world!!

Started this from a tiny 1" tall plant. Hasn't bloomed yet, but thriving quite well and has grown significantly than this picture.

We planted this Snail Vine just 2 months ago and it's already grown 10 times it's original size.

Brand new seed pod! The flower fell off about a week after opening, revealing this pod.

This is about as loaded down as I've ever seen the Corkscrew Vine. In this picture you can see the blooms in every stage in which they may be found.

The seedpods are quickly fattening up. You can now see the bumps indicating the seeds within.

Bare root purchased from Monticello Thomas Jefferson Foundation.

This vine is a very fast grower and has an abundence of blooms. I had six seed (bean) pods last year. The seed are very easy to germinate.

just purchased from Lowe's and planted in ground just a day ago

Planted two of them on either side of a trellis and then painted a mural in the middle.

This snail vine was 1 gal size planted about 4 months ago in casa grande arizona.We planted 4 about 4 ft apart.Has made a very nice fence cover in a short time.

The Snail

Started from a very small plant and took several years to bloom. First bloom year only provided about 6 flowers, but hope to see it expand in forthcoming years.
